    A. In a comparative negligence state, the actions of Don and Alice will be weighed to determine liability.

    Explanation:

    Comparative negligence is a way to weigh the negligence of the parties involved in a dispute.

    In this case Don could be said to be negligent by not securing the boards properly in his truck, resulting in them falling off.

    On the other hand Alice should have not been driving very closely to Don's truck.

    So the actions of Don and Alice will be weighed to determine liability.
